Korumburra is a town in Gippsland, Victoria. It is located on the South Gippsland Highway, one and a half hours drive south-east of Melbourne, in the South Gippsland Shire local government area. At the 2016 census Korumburra had an urban population of 3,639.
Surrounded by rolling green hills, the town is 227 metres (745 ft) above the sea level.
Korumburra owed its early prosperity to coal mining; 2,000,000 tons of coal were produced by the Korumburra coalfields from 1893 to 1962. Korumburra is known as the "Heritage Centre of South Gippsland". It is the home of Coal Creek Historic Park and Museum. This village depicts life in the area over the period from the 1870s to 1920s, as the town rapidly expanded following the discovery of a coal seam. The outdoor museum covers 27 hectares of bushland, including 53 exhibits. These include the Giant Earthworm, National Bank, Anzac exhibit, Mining exhibits, Dairy exhibit at the Boston Carriageworks and Railway Museum.
The region is home to the world's largest earthworms.
